    You're correct (even though Deadshot ands Bloodsport aren't heroes either), ands that is a problem in itself. One that could have been easily avoided if they had used traditional Suicide Squad member Bronze Tiger in one of their 2 Suicide Squad motion pictures, for instance.

    Even then, choosing 2 primarily white characters to celebrate Black History Month really rubs me the wrong way.

    ConnEr Kent flies. ConnOr Hawke has a bow. Batman's kid is named DamiAn.

    To do spoiler tags, use [ spoil ] at the start of the sentence and [ /spoil ] at the end, without the spaces. You're welcome!

    And in defense of DC, there was one character which they tried to make stick. But because of a """""certain publisher""""" idea of what role Wally should fulfill, coupled with a terrible, terrible execution of an origin, Wallace is now a different character.

    I'm not that knowledgeable when it comes to Marvel, but has the original "Nick Fury Sr." been of any long running book (solo or team) in the last 30 years or so?

    Default Ray Fisher strikes again

    Seriously he should just stop. Enough is enough. He probably has a PDA that doesn't allow him to speak publicly about whatever is going on. He's more like Jacob Marley trying to haunt Scrooge at this point. Either you have some significant dirt or you don't. He's like that card player at the table who's trying to bluff.

    Quote:

    Toby Emmerich and Walter Hamada must really be scared of this Discovery merger.

    These public credit grabs and puff pieces about why they shouldn’t be fired are laughable.

    If Toby wants to talk about directors, he should talk about his hiring and protecting of Joss Whedon.

    A>E"

    Should Emmerich or Hamada really be scared of this merger? From the DC side of things, thought this was supposed to smooth things out more.

    Why are people so obsessed with this thing if they don't support anyone involved? Just ignore it.

    The man is entitled to stand up for himself. I respect him for it doing so. But every time he opens his mouth just makes him sound like a scorned lover.

    He has said his piece. He needs to just let it go now and move on. The longer he keeps this up the less likely it is of anybody in Hollywood wanting to hire/work with him.
